AC Milan still eye battling Mario Balotelli

Mario Balotelli remains an AC Milan transfer target despite the
latest bust-up in his short and troubled career.

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini stepped in to separate Balotelli
from team-mate Jerome Boateng during a training session 24 hours before
yesterday's game against Bolton.

But Milan still want the 20-year-old striker back at the San Siro as
soon as possible. Milan are short of cash and want a loan deal similar
to the one that allowed Zlatan Ibrahimovic to return to Italy from
Barcelona.
